1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:24,000
The Messengers sent as a great blessing on their communities, called people to the true path, and were means whereby they emerged out of the darkness into the light.

2
00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000
They preached the laws of our Lord who created the entire universe out of nothing.

3
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Our Lord also bestowed miracles on some prophets, sometimes to protect them from the snares of the deniers and idolaters, and sometimes to be a means whereby people would come to faith.

4
00:00:47,000 --> 00:01:01,000
For example, the snares of the deniers who wished to cast the prophet Abraham into the flames were neutralized by Allah's commanding that the fire to be cool.

5
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:13,000
The staff held in the hand of the prophet Moses turned into a dragon that swallowed what Pharaoh's sorcerers had produced, and then resumed its former appearance.

6
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:27,000
The prophet Moses also struck the Red Sea with his staff, and the people of Israel were able to escape Pharaoh's persecution by crossing to the other side when the sea parted as a result.

7
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:35,000
By Allah's leave, the prophet Jesus restored dead people to life, and cured the sick by touching them.

8
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Many other miracles are also reported in the Quran.

9
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:49,000
These miracles, a great blessing from our Lord, had a huge impact on people.

10
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:57,000
They further increased believers' fervor and enthusiasm, and also caused a great many people to believe.

11
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:08,000
Our beloved prophet, peace be upon him, whom Allah has made a role model for all mankind, with his superior virtues and his every word and deed,

12
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:14,000
also performed many miracles, by Allah's leave throughout the course of his life.

13
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
.

14
00:02:44,000 --> 00:03:01,120
The verses of the Qur'an and the Hadith contain several miracles performed by our Prophet, peace be upon him.

15
00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:14,120
By Allah's leave and by preaching Islamic moral virtues in the finest manner possible,

16
00:03:14,880 --> 00:03:22,900
he was a means whereby a people who used to bury their children alive came to be compassionate and affectionate towards everyone.

17
00:03:22,900 --> 00:03:33,460
Again, through the Prophet, peace be upon him, a community that once worshipped the idols they made with their own hands,

18
00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:36,620
came to believe in the one true Allah.

19
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:50,840
The verses of the Qur'an he preached as a guide to salvation raised the Bedouin from ignorance,

20
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,740
to the highest levels of civilization.

21
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:02,040
These are all miracles worked by Allah through our Prophet, peace be upon him.

22
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:16,920
The way that the Prophet, peace be upon him, survived and nothing untoward befell him,

23
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:22,420
even though he always fought in the front rank during his 23 years of active struggle.

24
00:04:23,100 --> 00:04:27,900
And the battles forced upon him by the most fanatical and hate-filled deniers

25
00:04:27,900 --> 00:04:30,180
is another of his miracles.

26
00:04:30,180 --> 00:04:40,840
The miracles of our beloved Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

27
00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:43,580
represent glad tidings for all Muslims

28
00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:46,440
and blessing from help from Allah.

29
00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:54,640
These miracles will further increase the faith of those who already believe and bind them

30
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:56,580
still tighter to the noble Qur'an,

31
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:01,180
the divine scripture sent down to our Prophet, peace be upon him, by Allah.

32
00:05:01,180 --> 00:05:19,480
According to Islamic and historical sources,

33
00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:22,000
our Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him,

34
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,440
was honored with the rank of Prophet at about the age of 40.

35
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:31,380
However, a number of miraculous events had already taken place

36
00:05:31,380 --> 00:05:35,460
before the Prophet, peace be upon him, began receiving his revelation.

37
00:05:36,520 --> 00:05:39,360
One of these miracles was the way his dreams came true.

38
00:05:40,280 --> 00:05:45,220
According to the traditions, these true dreams lasted around six months.

39
00:05:45,820 --> 00:05:51,300
The great Islamic scholar Imam al-Bukhari describes these dreams as follows.

40
00:05:51,300 --> 00:05:59,020
Aisha narrated the first thing with which the revelation began for the Messenger of Allah

41
00:05:59,020 --> 00:06:01,220
was correct dreams and sleep.

42
00:06:02,060 --> 00:06:06,380
He never saw a dream but that it came like the breaking of the dawn.

43
00:06:09,380 --> 00:06:14,460
The way that all our beloved Prophet's, peace be upon him, dreams came true

44
00:06:14,460 --> 00:06:18,020
over the six months before he was honored with the rank of Prophet

45
00:06:18,020 --> 00:06:22,520
is one of the proofs that he has been specially chosen by Allah.

46
00:06:23,700 --> 00:06:26,800
Islamic scholars describe this state of affairs

47
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,540
as Allah having prepared the Prophet, peace be upon him,

48
00:06:30,620 --> 00:06:33,200
for his great task in his sleep.

49
00:06:34,380 --> 00:06:38,840
Following these true visions and with the revelation he received from Allah,

50
00:06:39,600 --> 00:06:43,820
the Prophet, peace be upon him, was made a guide to salvation for all mankind.

51
00:06:48,020 --> 00:06:54,800
In the Hadiths, we are told that when the Prophet, peace be upon him, reached his forties,

52
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:00,080
he would frequently enter the Ghad Haira, the cave of Haira,

53
00:07:00,740 --> 00:07:03,240
on Jabal An-Nul, the mountain of light,

54
00:07:03,860 --> 00:07:05,760
some 12 kilometers from Mecca,

55
00:07:06,300 --> 00:07:07,900
and remain there alone.

56
00:07:08,740 --> 00:07:12,940
In the month of Ramadan, of the third year of his solitude in the cave,

57
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,980
Allah bestowed the Prophethood upon Muhammad, peace be upon him.

58
00:07:16,980 --> 00:07:22,280
By Allah's leave, the angel Gabriel appeared to the Prophet, peace be upon him,

59
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,580
and revealed to him verses of the Qur'an.

60
00:07:25,420 --> 00:07:28,460
This is how the event is described in the Qur'an.

61
00:07:28,460 --> 00:07:38,080
I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan.

62
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:42,900
Truly, it is revelation sent down by the Lord of all the worlds.

63
00:07:43,700 --> 00:07:46,280
The faithful spirit brought it down to your heart,

64
00:07:46,380 --> 00:07:48,040
so you would be one of the warners.

65
00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:57,800
In another verse, it is revealed that Allah will have the Prophet, peace be upon him,

66
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,760
learn the Qur'an by the heart.

67
00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:16,100
The way that he thus learned all the verses of the Qur'an

68
00:08:16,100 --> 00:08:19,680
is one of the miracles bestowed on the Prophet, peace be upon him,

69
00:08:19,820 --> 00:08:20,660
by our Lord.

70
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:23,660
Until his death,

71
00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:25,600
our Prophet, peace be upon him,

72
00:08:25,700 --> 00:08:28,280
called people to Allah and His way

73
00:08:28,280 --> 00:08:30,380
with great determination.

74
00:08:46,100 --> 00:08:54,980
Our Prophet's greatest miracle is the noble Qur'an.

75
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,140
Allah sent down the Qur'an, a guide to mankind,

76
00:09:02,680 --> 00:09:04,540
14 centuries ago,

77
00:09:04,980 --> 00:09:09,820
and called upon all mankind to attain salvation by adhering to it.

78
00:09:09,820 --> 00:09:14,580
The perfection of its literary language,

79
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:15,980
its matchless style,

80
00:09:16,180 --> 00:09:17,480
and the wisdom it contains

81
00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:19,980
are all sure and certain proof

82
00:09:19,980 --> 00:09:22,180
that the Qur'an is the word of Allah.

83
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:33,680
Poetry and literature were highly advanced in Arabia at that time.

84
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:35,980
There were poets and people

85
00:09:35,980 --> 00:09:39,260
who made the most excellent use of the Arabic language.

86
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:44,280
Those members of the tribe

87
00:09:44,280 --> 00:09:46,680
with the greatest rhetorical abilities

88
00:09:46,680 --> 00:09:49,020
were regarded as national heroes.

89
00:09:51,340 --> 00:09:54,500
Due to the importance they attached to literature,

90
00:09:55,260 --> 00:09:57,300
they wrote the Mu'allakats,

91
00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:59,240
or the suspended odes,

92
00:09:59,860 --> 00:10:01,480
and letters of gold and hung them

93
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,000
on the walls of the Ka'bah.

94
00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:06,540
Some people would preach sermons

95
00:10:06,540 --> 00:10:08,560
on such occasions as stairs.

96
00:10:09,820 --> 00:10:13,100
Even the peasant people known as Bedouins

97
00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:14,280
would recite poetry

98
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:16,140
and give speeches of

99
00:10:16,140 --> 00:10:19,280
as fine a quality as the poets in the cities.

100
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:21,500
These poems and speeches

101
00:10:21,500 --> 00:10:23,600
had a powerful effect on people.

102
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:39,700
It was at such a time as this

103
00:10:39,700 --> 00:10:41,640
that Allah sent the noble Qur'an

104
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:43,260
down to the heart of the Prophet,

105
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:44,300
peace be upon him.

106
00:10:45,260 --> 00:10:46,400
With the Qur'an,

107
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,900
the Prophet, peace be upon him,

108
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:50,200
gave the wisest literary response

109
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:51,520
to the finest orators

110
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,840
and the best-known poets

111
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,140
who made the best possible use of language.

112
00:10:56,520 --> 00:10:58,480
Although opposed by many orators,

113
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:59,940
he overcame them

114
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:01,400
through the mercy of our Lord.

115
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:02,560
There is no doubt

116
00:11:02,560 --> 00:11:04,420
that this was on account

117
00:11:04,420 --> 00:11:06,400
of the matchless literary beauty,

118
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,340
wisdom, and impact

119
00:11:08,340 --> 00:11:10,940
manifested by our Lord in the Qur'an.

120
00:11:10,940 --> 00:11:13,380
I seek refuge in Allah

121
00:11:13,380 --> 00:11:14,700
from the accursed Satan.

122
00:11:15,660 --> 00:11:16,520
This is the word

123
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,740
of a noble messenger.

124
00:11:18,260 --> 00:11:20,040
It is not the word of a poet,

125
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,760
how little faith you have.

126
00:11:24,140 --> 00:11:26,420
Nor the word of a fortune teller,

127
00:11:26,660 --> 00:11:27,780
how little heed you pay.

128
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:29,200
It is a revelation

129
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,980
from the Lord of all the worlds.

130
00:11:30,980 --> 00:11:39,220
In addition to these features,

131
00:11:39,420 --> 00:11:40,800
the Qur'an also contains

132
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:42,740
many miraculous aspects

133
00:11:42,740 --> 00:11:44,040
confirming that it is

134
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:44,880
the word of Allah.

135
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,040
One of these is the way

136
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,700
that certain scientific truths,

137
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:53,120
which we have only learned

138
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,120
through the 20th and 21st century technology,

139
00:11:56,540 --> 00:11:58,060
were revealed in the Qur'an

140
00:11:58,060 --> 00:11:59,400
1400 years ago.

141
00:12:00,980 --> 00:12:03,040
A number of scientific facts

142
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,580
reported in various verses

143
00:12:04,580 --> 00:12:05,560
of the Qur'an

144
00:12:05,560 --> 00:12:07,260
in an exceptionally clear

145
00:12:07,260 --> 00:12:08,240
and wise manner,

146
00:12:08,520 --> 00:12:09,440
were only discovered

147
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:10,420
in our own day

148
00:12:10,420 --> 00:12:12,100
using the latest technology.

149
00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:21,960
These facts,

150
00:12:22,260 --> 00:12:23,380
which could not possibly

151
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:25,120
have been scientifically determined

152
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,140
at the time

153
00:12:26,140 --> 00:12:27,800
when the Qur'an was sent down,

154
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,580
once again prove it

155
00:12:29,580 --> 00:12:30,420
to be divine.

156
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:38,780
In the 7th century,

157
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,560
when the Qur'an was sent down,

158
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,640
Arab society held countless,

159
00:12:42,920 --> 00:12:43,720
nonsensical,

160
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,220
and superstitious beliefs

161
00:12:45,220 --> 00:12:46,780
on scientific matters.

162
00:12:53,560 --> 00:12:54,880
Lacking the technology

163
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,420
with which to examine nature

164
00:12:56,420 --> 00:12:57,320
and the universe,

165
00:12:57,320 --> 00:12:59,540
the Arab's believed in legends

166
00:12:59,540 --> 00:13:01,160
handed on from one generation

167
00:13:01,160 --> 00:13:02,040
to the next.

168
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:10,940
Revealed at a time

169
00:13:10,940 --> 00:13:12,320
when people knew very little

170
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,320
about astronomy,

171
00:13:14,020 --> 00:13:14,400
physics,

172
00:13:14,580 --> 00:13:15,420
or biology,

173
00:13:16,080 --> 00:13:17,260
the Qur'an contains

174
00:13:17,260 --> 00:13:18,680
a great deal of information

175
00:13:18,680 --> 00:13:20,180
on a great many subjects,

176
00:13:20,740 --> 00:13:22,380
from the creation of universe

177
00:13:22,380 --> 00:13:23,520
to human beings,

178
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:24,760
from the structure

179
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:25,680
of the atmosphere

180
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,640
to the balances

181
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:27,660
in the universe.

182
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:30,660
Recent scientific discoveries

183
00:13:30,660 --> 00:13:31,720
make it clearer

184
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,080
just how miraculous

185
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:34,620
this information is.

186
00:13:34,620 --> 00:13:54,880
One of the most important features

187
00:13:54,880 --> 00:13:55,840
of the Qur'an

188
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,620
is the way that it has come down

189
00:13:57,620 --> 00:13:58,580
to the present day

190
00:13:58,580 --> 00:14:00,660
in exactly the same form

191
00:14:00,660 --> 00:14:01,980
as it was revealed

192
00:14:01,980 --> 00:14:02,820
to the Prophet,

193
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:03,800
peace be upon him,

194
00:14:04,060 --> 00:14:05,420
and has never changed

195
00:14:05,420 --> 00:14:06,620
in any way.

196
00:14:07,580 --> 00:14:08,680
Allah sets this out

197
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:09,560
in the Qur'an.

198
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:13,300
I seek refuge in Allah

199
00:14:13,300 --> 00:14:14,600
from the accursed Satan.

200
00:14:15,220 --> 00:14:16,380
It is we who have

201
00:14:16,380 --> 00:14:17,700
sent down the reminder

202
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:19,960
and we who will preserve it.

203
00:14:28,580 --> 00:14:30,480
The scriptures before the Qur'an

204
00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:31,480
have been distorted

205
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:32,620
and not preserved

206
00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:34,140
in their original forms.

207
00:14:36,620 --> 00:14:37,620
Various additions

208
00:14:37,620 --> 00:14:38,640
have been made to them

209
00:14:38,640 --> 00:14:39,640
by human beings.

210
00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:41,600
Some parts have been altered

211
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,280
and others removed entirely.

212
00:14:52,900 --> 00:14:54,140
During the revelation

213
00:14:54,140 --> 00:14:55,240
of the Qur'an,

214
00:14:55,420 --> 00:14:56,620
each time a revelation

215
00:14:56,620 --> 00:14:57,900
was given to the Prophet,

216
00:14:57,900 --> 00:14:58,840
peace be upon him,

217
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:00,400
our Lord miraculously

218
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,280
enabled him to memorize it.

219
00:15:04,700 --> 00:15:06,240
Immediately afterwards,

220
00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:06,960
the Prophet,

221
00:15:07,140 --> 00:15:07,780
peace be upon him,

222
00:15:07,820 --> 00:15:09,380
had the Qur'an written down

223
00:15:09,380 --> 00:15:10,960
by blessed members

224
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:11,920
of his community

225
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:12,660
known as

226
00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:14,360
Scribes of Revelation.

227
00:15:18,780 --> 00:15:19,380
Thus,

228
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:20,920
the Qur'an was preserved

229
00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:21,940
in written form.

230
00:15:26,260 --> 00:15:27,880
The Qur'an was compiled

231
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:28,860
in one volume

232
00:15:28,860 --> 00:15:31,380
in the time of the blessed Abu Bakr

233
00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:32,640
.

234
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:34,600
Multiple copies were produced

235
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,140
during the time of the blessed Uthman

236
00:15:37,140 --> 00:15:38,840
and these were distributed

237
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:40,660
to major Islamic cities.

238
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:43,680
The Qur'an is the revelation of Allah

239
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:45,960
sent as a guide to the true path

240
00:15:45,960 --> 00:15:47,180
for all mankind,

241
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:48,560
which introduces people

242
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,440
to their own lower selves,

243
00:15:51,100 --> 00:15:52,180
provides information

244
00:15:52,180 --> 00:15:52,900
that nobody

245
00:15:52,900 --> 00:15:53,940
who has ever lived

246
00:15:53,940 --> 00:15:55,080
or will ever live

247
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:55,820
in the future

248
00:15:55,820 --> 00:15:57,260
and no jinn

249
00:15:57,260 --> 00:15:58,200
can ever know.

250
00:15:58,820 --> 00:15:59,400
The numbers

251
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:00,120
and dates

252
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:00,660
in which

253
00:16:00,660 --> 00:16:02,700
are all absolutely accurate.

254
00:16:04,700 --> 00:16:06,480
It also possesses

255
00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,580
an unmatched

256
00:16:07,580 --> 00:16:08,820
literary richness.

257
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,520
So great a miracle

258
00:16:10,520 --> 00:16:11,620
is the Qur'an

259
00:16:11,620 --> 00:16:12,300
that Allah

260
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,360
instructed the Prophet,

261
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:14,220
peace be upon him,

262
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:15,200
to say the following

263
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:16,740
to those who became arrogant

264
00:16:16,740 --> 00:16:18,640
and refused to listen to it.

265
00:16:20,940 --> 00:16:22,600
I seek refuge in Allah

266
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:23,920
from the accursed Satan.

267
00:16:24,860 --> 00:16:25,240
Say,

268
00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:26,940
if both men and jinn

269
00:16:26,940 --> 00:16:27,980
banded together

270
00:16:27,980 --> 00:16:29,180
to produce the like

271
00:16:29,180 --> 00:16:30,220
of this Qur'an,

272
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:31,700
they could never produce

273
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:32,600
anything like it.

274
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:37,400
Even if they backed

275
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:38,240
each other up,

276
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:39,200
we have

277
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:40,420
variegated

278
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,720
throughout this Qur'an

279
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:43,000
all kinds of examples

280
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:43,700
for people,

281
00:16:44,140 --> 00:16:44,900
but most people

282
00:16:44,900 --> 00:16:45,660
spurn anything

283
00:16:45,660 --> 00:16:46,800
but disbelief.

284
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:01,720
The Moral Virtues

285
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:02,620
of the Prophet,

286
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:03,460
peace be upon him,

287
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:04,500
are so sublime

288
00:17:04,500 --> 00:17:06,660
that nobody can deny

289
00:17:06,660 --> 00:17:07,780
or ignore them.

290
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:09,860
This blessed individual

291
00:17:09,860 --> 00:17:10,940
possessed all the

292
00:17:10,940 --> 00:17:11,980
superior virtues

293
00:17:11,980 --> 00:17:13,640
revealed in the Qur'an

294
00:17:13,640 --> 00:17:15,560
and Beloved of Allah.

295
00:17:16,620 --> 00:17:17,860
He is a role model

296
00:17:17,860 --> 00:17:18,720
and guide

297
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:19,860
for all the worlds.

298
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:21,440
The Prophet,

299
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:22,300
peace be upon him,

300
00:17:22,460 --> 00:17:23,280
preached the message

301
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:23,900
of Islam

302
00:17:23,900 --> 00:17:25,640
in the very finest manner

303
00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:27,380
and behaved

304
00:17:27,380 --> 00:17:28,160
with the greatest

305
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:28,740
determination

306
00:17:28,740 --> 00:17:29,860
on the subject.

307
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:31,700
Although he was

308
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:32,900
subjected to terrible

309
00:17:32,900 --> 00:17:33,400
oppression

310
00:17:33,400 --> 00:17:34,620
and also offered

311
00:17:34,620 --> 00:17:35,940
a great deal

312
00:17:35,940 --> 00:17:37,840
if he would stop

313
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:38,800
preaching the moral

314
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:39,960
values of the faith,

315
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:41,800
he nevertheless

316
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,360
rejected every proposal

317
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:44,220
put to him.

318
00:17:44,220 --> 00:17:53,920
He always held

319
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,080
Allah's good pleasure

320
00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,240
and the interests

321
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:57,040
of Islam

322
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:57,680
and Muslims

323
00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:58,780
above all else.

324
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:00,660
Throughout his life,

325
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:01,480
the Prophet,

326
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:02,220
peace be upon him,

327
00:18:02,360 --> 00:18:03,040
guided people

328
00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:03,940
to the true path,

329
00:18:04,700 --> 00:18:05,960
instructed his companions

330
00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:07,160
and struggled

331
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:08,660
to turn the idolaters

332
00:18:08,660 --> 00:18:10,060
to the true path

333
00:18:10,060 --> 00:18:11,460
by constantly engaging

334
00:18:11,460 --> 00:18:12,540
in dialogue with them.

335
00:18:12,540 --> 00:18:14,420
As a result

336
00:18:14,420 --> 00:18:15,440
of his instruction,

337
00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:16,760
people living

338
00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:18,100
in a desert environment

339
00:18:18,100 --> 00:18:20,000
with very ignorant

340
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:21,220
manners and values

341
00:18:21,220 --> 00:18:23,260
turned into virtuous people

342
00:18:23,260 --> 00:18:23,940
cleansed

343
00:18:23,940 --> 00:18:25,060
by the light of faith.

344
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,300
This is a great miracle.

345
00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:29,960
Ibrahim ibn Muhammad,

346
00:18:30,320 --> 00:18:30,940
a grandson

347
00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:32,480
of the blessed Ali,

348
00:18:32,780 --> 00:18:33,760
radiallahu ta'ala,

349
00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:35,680
reports as follows

350
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,540
in describing

351
00:18:36,540 --> 00:18:37,180
the Prophet,

352
00:18:37,580 --> 00:18:38,480
peace be upon him.

353
00:18:43,260 --> 00:18:45,080
Whenever Ali described

354
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:46,200
the noble features

355
00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:47,020
of the Messenger

356
00:18:47,020 --> 00:18:47,620
of Allah,

357
00:18:48,580 --> 00:18:49,560
he used to say,

358
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:51,420
he was the most generous

359
00:18:51,420 --> 00:18:53,040
and the most truthful.

360
00:18:53,880 --> 00:18:55,240
He was the most kind-hearted.

361
00:18:56,080 --> 00:18:57,420
Any person who saw him

362
00:18:57,420 --> 00:18:59,000
suddenly would become awed.

363
00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:02,380
Anyone who came

364
00:19:02,380 --> 00:19:04,120
in close contact with him

365
00:19:04,120 --> 00:19:06,600
and knew his excellent character

366
00:19:06,600 --> 00:19:07,200
loved him.

367
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:09,080
The one who described him

368
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:09,420
said,

369
00:19:10,180 --> 00:19:11,780
I have not seen anyone

370
00:19:11,780 --> 00:19:12,940
like him before

371
00:19:12,940 --> 00:19:14,520
or after him.

372
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,780
Even before he began preaching,

373
00:19:23,180 --> 00:19:23,760
the message,

374
00:19:24,020 --> 00:19:24,640
he was known

375
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,080
for his trustworthiness

376
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:27,680
from a very early age.

377
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,420
He was known

378
00:19:31,420 --> 00:19:32,280
to the community

379
00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:33,400
in which he lived

380
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,140
as Al-Amin,

381
00:19:35,700 --> 00:19:36,860
the trustworthy one,

382
00:19:37,220 --> 00:19:38,800
and everyone was agreed

383
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,900
as to his honesty

384
00:19:39,900 --> 00:19:41,340
and reliability.

385
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:44,180
People in his community

386
00:19:44,180 --> 00:19:45,460
trusted him enough

387
00:19:45,460 --> 00:19:47,000
to entrust anything to him

388
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:48,560
and chose him

389
00:19:48,560 --> 00:19:49,240
as a judge

390
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:50,100
in the resolution

391
00:19:50,100 --> 00:19:51,600
of a great many problems.

392
00:19:53,380 --> 00:19:54,380
They always praised

393
00:19:54,380 --> 00:19:55,260
his virtues,

394
00:19:55,660 --> 00:19:56,220
good manners,

395
00:19:56,460 --> 00:19:57,500
and justice.

396
00:19:58,640 --> 00:19:59,520
Since the Prophet,

397
00:19:59,680 --> 00:20:00,360
peace be upon him,

398
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:02,480
was a highly intelligent individual

399
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:04,380
possessed of great foresight,

400
00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:05,620
all these qualities

401
00:20:05,620 --> 00:20:06,820
immediately attracted

402
00:20:06,820 --> 00:20:07,420
the notice

403
00:20:07,420 --> 00:20:08,700
of everyone who saw him.

404
00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:11,100
Anyone speaking with him

405
00:20:11,100 --> 00:20:12,320
or participating

406
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,120
in conversation with him

407
00:20:14,120 --> 00:20:15,840
and listening to the voice

408
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:16,700
of his conscience

409
00:20:16,700 --> 00:20:19,200
understood his extraordinary nature

410
00:20:19,200 --> 00:20:21,140
and saw many clear proofs

411
00:20:21,140 --> 00:20:22,120
of his prophethood.

412
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,840
His love,

413
00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:30,720
consideration,

414
00:20:31,140 --> 00:20:32,100
and affection,

415
00:20:32,740 --> 00:20:34,180
which bound those around him

416
00:20:34,180 --> 00:20:34,880
to the religion

417
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:36,300
and warmed their hearts

418
00:20:36,300 --> 00:20:36,880
to faith,

419
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,240
represent a moral superiority

420
00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:40,320
that all Muslims

421
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,560
need to reflect on.

422
00:20:41,560 --> 00:21:05,320
The Prophet Muhammad,

423
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:06,300
peace be upon him,

424
00:21:06,300 --> 00:21:08,240
is the unlettered prophet

425
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:09,660
whose coming is revealed

426
00:21:09,660 --> 00:21:10,320
in the Torah

427
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:11,660
and the Gospel.

428
00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:15,640
When Allah revealed

429
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:16,800
the Qur'an to him,

430
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:18,140
he could neither read

431
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:19,080
nor write.

432
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:28,640
this feature of the Prophet,

433
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:29,480
peace be upon him,

434
00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:31,140
is one of the most important

435
00:21:31,140 --> 00:21:32,500
proofs of his status

436
00:21:32,500 --> 00:21:33,240
as a prophet,

437
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:35,500
as revealed in one verse.

438
00:21:35,500 --> 00:21:43,640
I seek refuge in Allah

439
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:44,940
from the accursed Satan.

440
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,600
You never recited

441
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:48,020
any book before it,

442
00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:49,100
nor did you write

443
00:21:49,100 --> 00:21:49,980
one down

444
00:21:49,980 --> 00:21:50,960
with your right hand.

445
00:21:51,620 --> 00:21:52,360
If you had,

446
00:21:52,540 --> 00:21:53,860
the purveyors of falsehood

447
00:21:53,860 --> 00:21:54,620
would have voiced

448
00:21:54,620 --> 00:21:55,500
their doubts.

449
00:21:55,500 --> 00:22:09,920
Although the Prophet,

450
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:10,700
peace be upon him,

451
00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:11,940
had not read the Torah

452
00:22:11,940 --> 00:22:13,020
and the Gospel,

453
00:22:13,820 --> 00:22:14,880
he knew what they commanded

454
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:15,660
and revealed.

455
00:22:15,660 --> 00:22:26,920
He also knew

456
00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:27,620
the history

457
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:28,560
of societies

458
00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:29,820
that had gone before.

459
00:22:31,460 --> 00:22:31,880
This,

460
00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:32,660
of course,

461
00:22:32,900 --> 00:22:34,180
would have been impossible

462
00:22:34,180 --> 00:22:35,480
unless revealed

463
00:22:35,480 --> 00:22:36,100
by Allah.

464
00:22:39,100 --> 00:22:40,180
The Qur'an

465
00:22:40,180 --> 00:22:41,680
contained a treasure trove

466
00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:42,340
of knowledge

467
00:22:42,340 --> 00:22:43,800
about the main subjects

468
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:45,480
in all the divine scriptures.

469
00:22:46,460 --> 00:22:47,340
Stories regarding

470
00:22:47,340 --> 00:22:48,900
the Prophets of the past,

471
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:51,000
fates and the beliefs

472
00:22:51,000 --> 00:22:51,980
accompanying them,

473
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,700
ancient history,

474
00:22:54,460 --> 00:22:56,020
civilization and culture,

475
00:22:56,660 --> 00:22:57,240
economics,

476
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,520
politics and ethics.

477
00:23:03,240 --> 00:23:04,800
The Prophet Muhammad,

478
00:23:05,060 --> 00:23:05,860
peace be upon him,

479
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:07,460
was naturally unaware

480
00:23:07,460 --> 00:23:08,480
of any of this

481
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:09,360
before appointed

482
00:23:09,360 --> 00:23:10,280
as a messenger.

483
00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:13,980
Those familiar with him

484
00:23:13,980 --> 00:23:15,180
were well aware

485
00:23:15,180 --> 00:23:15,940
that he lacked

486
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:17,200
all such knowledge.

487
00:23:18,840 --> 00:23:19,920
The way that he appeared

488
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:21,220
before the non-believers

489
00:23:21,220 --> 00:23:22,120
with such a book,

490
00:23:22,380 --> 00:23:23,800
despite being illiterate,

491
00:23:24,360 --> 00:23:25,920
was the greatest proof

492
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:26,860
of his Prophethood.

493
00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:29,360
The knowledge

494
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:30,020
and the message

495
00:23:30,020 --> 00:23:30,800
of the Prophet,

496
00:23:30,980 --> 00:23:31,760
peace be upon him,

497
00:23:32,260 --> 00:23:33,260
who had not studied

498
00:23:33,260 --> 00:23:34,340
at any school,

499
00:23:34,820 --> 00:23:35,540
are just among

500
00:23:35,540 --> 00:23:36,900
the miraculous aspects

501
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:38,600
of this blessed individual.

502
00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,040
In one verse,

503
00:23:42,220 --> 00:23:43,280
Allah reveals

504
00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:44,340
that he was not

505
00:23:45,180 --> 00:23:46,180
I seek refuge

506
00:23:46,180 --> 00:23:46,640
in Allah

507
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:47,960
from the accursed Satan.

508
00:23:49,220 --> 00:23:50,400
Say, mankind,

509
00:23:51,260 --> 00:23:52,220
I am the messenger

510
00:23:52,220 --> 00:23:53,700
of Allah to you all,

511
00:23:54,340 --> 00:23:55,340
of him to whom

512
00:23:55,340 --> 00:23:56,620
the kingdom of the heavens

513
00:23:56,620 --> 00:23:57,780
and the earth belongs.

514
00:23:58,280 --> 00:23:59,340
There is no deity

515
00:23:59,340 --> 00:23:59,960
but him.

516
00:24:00,580 --> 00:24:01,420
He gives life

517
00:24:01,420 --> 00:24:02,660
and causes to die.

518
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:06,100
So believe in Allah

519
00:24:06,100 --> 00:24:07,340
and his messenger,

520
00:24:07,980 --> 00:24:09,400
the unlettered Prophet

521
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:10,900
who believes in Allah

522
00:24:10,900 --> 00:24:12,120
and his words

523
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,040
and follow him

524
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:13,900
so that hopefully

525
00:24:13,900 --> 00:24:14,780
you will be guided.

526
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:39,980
Despite having a number

527
00:24:39,980 --> 00:24:41,180
of corrupted beliefs

528
00:24:41,180 --> 00:24:42,500
and practices,

529
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,120
Jews and Christians,

530
00:24:44,500 --> 00:24:45,380
the people of the book

531
00:24:45,380 --> 00:24:46,380
nevertheless adhere

532
00:24:46,380 --> 00:24:47,620
to the divine faith

533
00:24:47,620 --> 00:24:48,320
sent down

534
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:49,000
from the presence

535
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:49,560
of Allah.

536
00:25:00,500 --> 00:25:01,580
Allah has revealed

537
00:25:01,580 --> 00:25:02,240
that the Quran

538
00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:03,060
was sent down

539
00:25:03,060 --> 00:25:04,540
as the final scripture,

540
00:25:05,160 --> 00:25:05,720
a confirmation

541
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,220
of the other divine texts.

542
00:25:13,060 --> 00:25:14,220
I seek refuge

543
00:25:14,220 --> 00:25:14,680
in Allah

544
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:16,020
from the accursed Satan.

545
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:17,960
Believe in what

546
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:19,060
I have sent down,

547
00:25:19,340 --> 00:25:20,620
confirming what is with you.

548
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:22,180
Do not be the first

549
00:25:22,180 --> 00:25:22,980
to reject it

550
00:25:22,980 --> 00:25:23,760
and do not sell

551
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:24,380
my signs

552
00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:25,680
for a paltry price.

553
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:26,980
Have fear

554
00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:28,040
of me alone.

555
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,560
Judaic scholars

556
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:45,460
and Christians

557
00:25:45,460 --> 00:25:46,060
who knew

558
00:25:46,060 --> 00:25:46,840
of the features

559
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:48,200
of the illiterate Prophet

560
00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:49,400
whose coming

561
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:50,220
was foretold

562
00:25:50,220 --> 00:25:50,920
in the Torah

563
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:53,000
immediately acknowledged

564
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:54,180
the Prophet Muhammad

565
00:25:54,180 --> 00:25:55,240
peace be upon him.

566
00:25:56,980 --> 00:26:02,320
It is revealed

567
00:26:02,320 --> 00:26:03,100
in the Quran

568
00:26:03,100 --> 00:26:04,080
that the people

569
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:04,580
of the book

570
00:26:04,580 --> 00:26:05,400
will recognize

571
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:06,220
our Prophet

572
00:26:06,220 --> 00:26:06,980
peace be upon him

573
00:26:06,980 --> 00:26:07,840
in the same way

574
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:08,380
that they do

575
00:26:08,380 --> 00:26:09,260
their own children,

576
00:26:09,920 --> 00:26:10,820
that some of them

577
00:26:10,820 --> 00:26:11,440
will nevertheless

578
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:12,200
deny him

579
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:13,400
and that those

580
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:14,640
who fail to believe him

581
00:26:14,640 --> 00:26:15,420
will eventually

582
00:26:15,420 --> 00:26:16,480
suffer disappointment.

583
00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:19,940
I seek refuge

584
00:26:19,940 --> 00:26:20,400
in Allah

585
00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:21,740
from the accursed Satan.

586
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:23,040
Those who we have

587
00:26:23,040 --> 00:26:23,720
given the book

588
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,860
recognize it

589
00:26:24,860 --> 00:26:25,960
as they recognize

590
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:26,820
their own children.

591
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:28,340
As for those

592
00:26:28,340 --> 00:26:29,000
who have lost

593
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:29,960
their own selves,

594
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,380
they have no faith.

595
00:26:31,380 --> 00:26:40,640
It is certain

596
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:41,260
the Prophet

597
00:26:41,260 --> 00:26:42,760
unable to read

598
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:43,440
or write

599
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,260
obtained his knowledge

600
00:26:45,260 --> 00:26:45,980
of the people

601
00:26:45,980 --> 00:26:46,580
of Israel

602
00:26:46,580 --> 00:26:48,180
through being given

603
00:26:48,180 --> 00:26:49,540
it by our Lord.

604
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,040
When these verses

605
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:55,800
were read

606
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:57,200
Judaic scholars

607
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,560
saw that the Prophet

608
00:26:58,560 --> 00:26:59,540
peace be upon him

609
00:26:59,540 --> 00:27:01,020
was the messenger

610
00:27:01,020 --> 00:27:01,960
whose coming

611
00:27:01,960 --> 00:27:03,020
was awaited.

612
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:06,820
The people

613
00:27:06,820 --> 00:27:07,440
of the book

614
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:07,840
witnessed

615
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:08,940
that he spoke

616
00:27:08,940 --> 00:27:09,520
the truth

617
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:11,060
and was Allah's messenger.

618
00:27:15,820 --> 00:27:17,060
As we have seen,

619
00:27:17,260 --> 00:27:18,460
revelation of the coming

620
00:27:18,460 --> 00:27:19,140
and attributes

621
00:27:19,140 --> 00:27:20,180
of the Prophet

622
00:27:20,180 --> 00:27:21,220
peace be upon him

623
00:27:21,220 --> 00:27:21,960
in the scriptures

624
00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:22,940
of the people

625
00:27:22,940 --> 00:27:23,620
of the book

626
00:27:23,620 --> 00:27:25,140
is yet another

627
00:27:25,140 --> 00:27:26,020
of the miracles

628
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:27,020
regarding this

629
00:27:27,020 --> 00:27:27,900
blessed individual

630
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,220
who was made

631
00:27:29,220 --> 00:27:30,520
superior to all

632
00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:31,120
the worlds.

633
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:34,000
The believing

634
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:35,320
people of the book

635
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:36,460
who used

636
00:27:36,460 --> 00:27:37,580
their consciences

637
00:27:37,580 --> 00:27:38,640
in evaluating

638
00:27:38,640 --> 00:27:39,740
what they saw

639
00:27:39,740 --> 00:27:41,040
once again

640
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:41,600
confirmed

641
00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:42,660
this manifest

642
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:43,320
truth.

643
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:47,400
I seek refuge

644
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:47,840
in Allah

645
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,660
from the accursed

646
00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:49,160
Satan.

647
00:27:49,580 --> 00:27:50,860
Those who follow

648
00:27:50,860 --> 00:27:51,520
the messenger,

649
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:52,860
the unlettered

650
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:53,180
Prophet,

651
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:54,520
whom they find

652
00:27:54,520 --> 00:27:55,180
written down

653
00:27:55,180 --> 00:27:55,620
with them

654
00:27:55,620 --> 00:27:56,300
in the Torah

655
00:27:56,300 --> 00:27:57,300
and the gospel,

656
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:58,760
commanding them

657
00:27:58,760 --> 00:27:59,780
to do right

658
00:27:59,780 --> 00:28:00,980
and forbidding

659
00:28:00,980 --> 00:28:02,080
them to do wrong,

660
00:28:03,620 --> 00:28:05,040
making good things

661
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:06,060
lawful for them

662
00:28:06,060 --> 00:28:06,960
and bad things

663
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,920
forbidden for them,

664
00:28:08,540 --> 00:28:09,340
relieving them

665
00:28:09,340 --> 00:28:10,660
of their heavy loads

666
00:28:10,660 --> 00:28:11,540
and the chains

667
00:28:11,540 --> 00:28:13,080
which were around them.

668
00:28:14,180 --> 00:28:15,160
Those who believe

669
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:15,560
in him

670
00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:16,400
and honor him

671
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:17,400
and help him

672
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,020
and follow the light

673
00:28:19,020 --> 00:28:19,740
that has been

674
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:20,800
sent down with him,

675
00:28:21,300 --> 00:28:22,160
they are the ones

676
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,260
who are successful.

677
00:28:23,260 --> 00:28:50,140
The Night Journey

678
00:28:50,140 --> 00:28:50,920
and the Ascent

679
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:51,440
to Heaven

680
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:52,980
is one of the Prophet's

681
00:28:52,980 --> 00:28:53,720
peace be upon him

682
00:28:53,720 --> 00:28:55,120
greatest miracles.

683
00:28:56,260 --> 00:28:57,180
It is reported

684
00:28:57,180 --> 00:28:58,020
in the Quran

685
00:28:58,020 --> 00:28:59,080
that the Prophet

686
00:28:59,080 --> 00:28:59,960
peace be upon him

687
00:28:59,960 --> 00:29:00,860
made a miraculous

688
00:29:00,860 --> 00:29:01,980
night time journey

689
00:29:01,980 --> 00:29:03,580
to the Masjid Al-Aqsa.

690
00:29:14,860 --> 00:29:15,760
Almighty Allah

691
00:29:15,760 --> 00:29:17,160
reveals this journey

692
00:29:17,160 --> 00:29:18,000
in these words

693
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:19,040
in the first verse

694
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:20,220
of Surah Al-Isra.

695
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:27,320
I seek refuge in Allah

696
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,660
from the accursed Satan.

697
00:29:29,700 --> 00:29:30,660
Glory be to him

698
00:29:30,660 --> 00:29:31,520
who took his servant

699
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:33,020
on a journey by night

700
00:29:33,020 --> 00:29:34,480
from the Masjid Al-Haram

701
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:36,340
to the Masjid Al-Aqsa

702
00:29:36,340 --> 00:29:38,480
whose surroundings

703
00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:39,440
we have blessed

704
00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:41,060
in order to show him

705
00:29:41,060 --> 00:29:42,200
some of our signs.

706
00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:44,040
He is the all-hearing,

707
00:29:44,540 --> 00:29:45,420
the all-seeing.

708
00:29:45,420 --> 00:29:53,260
The Arabic word

709
00:29:53,260 --> 00:29:54,400
Aqsa means

710
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:55,340
far off

711
00:29:55,340 --> 00:29:56,800
or most distant.

712
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:07,380
They are

713
00:30:07,380 --> 00:30:10,160
1,235 kilometers

714
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:10,960
apart.

715
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:15,200
The Prophet

716
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:16,020
peace be upon him

717
00:30:16,020 --> 00:30:16,820
was in Mecca

718
00:30:16,820 --> 00:30:17,740
when the miracle

719
00:30:17,740 --> 00:30:18,340
in question

720
00:30:18,340 --> 00:30:19,080
took place.

721
00:30:22,860 --> 00:30:23,960
He was carried

722
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:24,640
from Mecca

723
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,000
to the Masjid Al-Aqsa

724
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:26,840
in Jerusalem.

725
00:30:30,540 --> 00:30:31,960
The Hadiths provide

726
00:30:31,960 --> 00:30:33,180
considerable detail

727
00:30:33,180 --> 00:30:34,260
about what the Prophet

728
00:30:34,260 --> 00:30:34,960
peace be upon him

729
00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:36,120
saw during this journey.

730
00:30:41,240 --> 00:30:42,300
It is reported

731
00:30:42,300 --> 00:30:42,980
that he met

732
00:30:42,980 --> 00:30:43,820
other Prophets

733
00:30:43,820 --> 00:30:44,440
and saw

734
00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:45,000
Paradise

735
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,260
and Hell.

736
00:30:46,260 --> 00:30:50,900
It is related

737
00:30:50,900 --> 00:30:51,580
that the Prophet

738
00:30:51,580 --> 00:30:52,340
peace be upon him

739
00:30:52,340 --> 00:30:52,940
was raised

740
00:30:52,940 --> 00:30:53,720
to the heaven

741
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:54,860
from the region

742
00:30:54,860 --> 00:30:56,360
around the Masjid Al-Aqsa

743
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,200
in Jerusalem.

744
00:31:00,580 --> 00:31:01,820
The site is known

745
00:31:01,820 --> 00:31:02,720
as the

746
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,560
Kubat Al-Sakra

747
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:05,640
or

748
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,000
Dome of the Rock.

749
00:31:09,060 --> 00:31:10,120
There is a rock

750
00:31:10,120 --> 00:31:10,820
at the heart

751
00:31:10,820 --> 00:31:12,280
of the Kubat Al-Sakra

752
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:13,060
known as

753
00:31:13,060 --> 00:31:14,460
the Foundation Stone.

754
00:31:16,260 --> 00:31:17,780
This is the rock

755
00:31:17,780 --> 00:31:18,740
from where the Prophet

756
00:31:18,740 --> 00:31:19,620
peace be upon him

757
00:31:19,620 --> 00:31:20,240
is agreed

758
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:21,320
to have ascended

759
00:31:21,320 --> 00:31:21,880
to heaven.

760
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:23,660
The interior

761
00:31:23,660 --> 00:31:24,500
of the rock

762
00:31:24,500 --> 00:31:25,200
is hollow.

763
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:27,040
That is why

764
00:31:27,040 --> 00:31:27,800
looked at

765
00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:28,760
in cross-section

766
00:31:28,760 --> 00:31:29,780
the rock

767
00:31:29,780 --> 00:31:31,040
gives the appearance

768
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:32,120
of being suspended

769
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:32,920
in the air

770
00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:33,860
which is why

771
00:31:33,860 --> 00:31:34,820
it is known

772
00:31:34,820 --> 00:31:36,300
as the Foundation Stone.

773
00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:39,880
According to

774
00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:40,740
Islamic sources

775
00:31:40,740 --> 00:31:41,700
because of their

776
00:31:41,700 --> 00:31:42,800
low intelligence

777
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:43,800
the miracle

778
00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:44,780
of the night journey

779
00:31:44,780 --> 00:31:45,500
and the ascent

780
00:31:45,500 --> 00:31:46,020
to heaven

781
00:31:46,020 --> 00:31:47,480
was met with

782
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,360
skepticism

783
00:31:48,360 --> 00:31:49,340
by the pagans

784
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:50,740
and unbelievers

785
00:31:50,740 --> 00:31:52,660
because they doubted

786
00:31:52,660 --> 00:31:53,360
that the Prophet

787
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:54,060
peace be upon him

788
00:31:54,060 --> 00:31:55,020
was telling the truth

789
00:31:55,020 --> 00:31:56,360
the unbelievers

790
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:57,000
set about

791
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:57,920
investigating

792
00:31:57,920 --> 00:31:59,200
whether the event

793
00:31:59,200 --> 00:31:59,780
had actually

794
00:31:59,780 --> 00:32:00,540
taken place

795
00:32:00,540 --> 00:32:01,200
or not.

796
00:32:05,700 --> 00:32:06,560
Our Lord

797
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,200
once again

798
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:07,960
humiliated

799
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:09,000
the unbelievers

800
00:32:09,000 --> 00:32:09,940
and pagans

801
00:32:09,940 --> 00:32:10,720
because of this

802
00:32:10,720 --> 00:32:11,880
unpleasing attitude

803
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:12,440
of theirs

804
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,520
and turned

805
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:14,220
everything they

806
00:32:14,220 --> 00:32:14,620
mocked

807
00:32:14,620 --> 00:32:15,400
against them.

808
00:32:19,180 --> 00:32:20,360
This is revealed

809
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:21,000
as follows

810
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:21,960
in the Hadith

811
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,380
they said

812
00:32:25,380 --> 00:32:26,520
will you describe

813
00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:27,320
the Masjid

814
00:32:27,320 --> 00:32:28,000
al-Aqsa

815
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:28,620
to us

816
00:32:28,620 --> 00:32:30,140
some of them

817
00:32:30,140 --> 00:32:30,920
had been there

818
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,820
and seen it

819
00:32:31,820 --> 00:32:33,160
the Prophet

820
00:32:33,160 --> 00:32:33,680
related

821
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,660
I began describing

822
00:32:35,660 --> 00:32:36,400
the mosque

823
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:37,520
and describing

824
00:32:37,520 --> 00:32:38,280
some places

825
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:39,800
I fell into doubt

826
00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:42,820
at this

827
00:32:42,820 --> 00:32:43,380
the mosque

828
00:32:43,380 --> 00:32:43,980
was brought

829
00:32:43,980 --> 00:32:44,540
and placed

830
00:32:44,540 --> 00:32:45,160
in front

831
00:32:45,160 --> 00:32:45,920
of the house

832
00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:46,840
of Iqal

833
00:32:46,840 --> 00:32:48,200
or Aqil

834
00:32:48,200 --> 00:32:49,600
I looked

835
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:50,300
at it

836
00:32:50,300 --> 00:32:50,960
and began

837
00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:51,860
describing it

838
00:32:51,860 --> 00:32:53,140
after the

839
00:32:53,140 --> 00:32:53,640
Prophet's

840
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:54,060
address

841
00:32:54,060 --> 00:32:54,740
they said

842
00:32:54,740 --> 00:32:56,100
as for the

843
00:32:56,100 --> 00:32:56,620
description

844
00:32:56,620 --> 00:32:57,620
by Allah

845
00:32:57,620 --> 00:32:58,600
he was correct

846
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:02,280
the Prophet

847
00:33:02,280 --> 00:33:03,360
peace be upon him

848
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:03,960
who had never

849
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:04,720
in his life

850
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:05,820
been to the area

851
00:33:05,820 --> 00:33:06,620
where the Masjid

852
00:33:06,620 --> 00:33:07,100
al-Aqsa

853
00:33:07,100 --> 00:33:07,640
was

854
00:33:07,640 --> 00:33:09,080
provided a full

855
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:09,660
response

856
00:33:09,660 --> 00:33:10,500
to the questions

857
00:33:10,500 --> 00:33:11,580
of the pagans

858
00:33:11,580 --> 00:33:13,040
this is a great

859
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:13,520
mercy

860
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:14,320
and miracle

861
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,240
of our Lord

862
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:16,440
through this

863
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:16,880
miracle

864
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,120

865
00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:18,840

866
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:19,560
and devotion

867
00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,460
to our Prophet

868
00:33:20,460 --> 00:33:21,420
peace be upon him

869
00:33:21,420 --> 00:33:22,560
of the faithful

870
00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:24,200
were still further

871
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:25,540
one piece of information

872
00:33:25,540 --> 00:33:26,520
about this miracle

873
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:27,200
imparted

874
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:28,260
in the Quran

875
00:33:28,260 --> 00:33:29,340
is the Prophet's

876
00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:30,020
peace be upon him

877
00:33:30,020 --> 00:33:30,740
ascent

878
00:33:30,740 --> 00:33:31,200
to the

879
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,200
Sirat al-Muntaha

880
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:33,700
this means

881
00:33:33,700 --> 00:33:35,060
the final boundary

882
00:33:35,060 --> 00:33:35,880
where the knowledge

883
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,220
of created entities

884
00:33:37,220 --> 00:33:38,100
ends

885
00:33:38,100 --> 00:33:39,200
and beyond which

886
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,220
they can go no further

887
00:33:41,220 --> 00:33:41,960
this miracle

888
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:42,720
is described

891
00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:45,640
Surat al-Najm

892
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:48,800
I seek refuge

893
00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,240
in Allah

894
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,060
from the accursed

895
00:33:50,060 --> 00:33:50,560
Satan

896
00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:51,980
he saw him

897
00:33:51,980 --> 00:33:52,580
again

898
00:33:52,580 --> 00:33:53,900
another time

899
00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:55,020
by the lot tree

900
00:33:55,020 --> 00:33:56,300
of the final limit

901
00:33:56,300 --> 00:33:57,760
beside which

902
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:58,600
is the garden

903
00:33:58,600 --> 00:33:59,340
of refuge

904
00:33:59,340 --> 00:34:00,840
when that

905
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:01,700
which covered

906
00:34:01,700 --> 00:34:02,480
the lot tree

907
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:03,160
covered it

908
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,340
his eye

909
00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:06,160
did not waver

910
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:07,020
nor did he look

911
00:34:07,020 --> 00:34:07,360
away

912
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:08,860
he saw some

913
00:34:08,860 --> 00:34:09,360
of the greatest

914
00:34:09,360 --> 00:34:10,600
signs of his Lord

915
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:18,160
as we have seen

916
00:34:18,160 --> 00:34:19,080
the mirage

917
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:20,100
is a great miracle

918
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:20,660
bestowed

919
00:34:20,660 --> 00:34:21,460
and our beloved

920
00:34:21,460 --> 00:34:21,940
Prophet

921
00:34:21,940 --> 00:34:22,660
peace be upon him

922
00:34:22,660 --> 00:34:23,840
by Almighty Allah

923
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:27,300
it is a superior proof

924
00:34:27,300 --> 00:34:28,580
given by our Lord

925
00:34:28,580 --> 00:34:29,560
to our Prophet

926
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:30,420
peace be upon him

927
00:34:30,420 --> 00:34:31,100
in the face

928
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:32,300
of the unbelievers

929
00:34:32,300 --> 00:34:49,720
another of our

930
00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:50,160
Prophets

931
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:51,240
peace be upon a miracle

932
00:34:51,240 --> 00:34:52,120
is his

933
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:52,700
cleaving

934
00:34:52,700 --> 00:34:53,480
of the moon

935
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,840
Allah has revealed

936
00:34:57,840 --> 00:34:59,000
this extraordinary

937
00:34:59,000 --> 00:34:59,660
event

938
00:34:59,660 --> 00:35:00,420
in the Quran

939
00:35:00,420 --> 00:35:01,700
and many Hadith

940
00:35:01,700 --> 00:35:02,880
concerning this miracle

941
00:35:02,880 --> 00:35:04,580
have also come down

942
00:35:04,580 --> 00:35:05,240
to us

943
00:35:05,240 --> 00:35:06,780
this is how it is

944
00:35:06,780 --> 00:35:07,240
revealed

945
00:35:07,240 --> 00:35:08,580
in Surah Al-Kamer

946
00:35:08,580 --> 00:35:11,540
I seek refuge

947
00:35:11,540 --> 00:35:11,980
in Allah

948
00:35:11,980 --> 00:35:12,820
from the accursed

949
00:35:12,820 --> 00:35:13,320
Satan

950
00:35:13,320 --> 00:35:15,020
the hour has drawn

951
00:35:15,020 --> 00:35:15,460
near

952
00:35:15,460 --> 00:35:16,160
and the moon

953
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:16,860
has split

954
00:35:16,860 --> 00:35:18,800
if they see a sign

955
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:19,440
they turn away

956
00:35:19,440 --> 00:35:19,920
saying

957
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:21,340
there is no end

958
00:35:21,340 --> 00:35:22,500
to this witchcraft

959
00:35:22,500 --> 00:35:24,740
they have denied

960
00:35:24,740 --> 00:35:25,260
the truth

961
00:35:25,260 --> 00:35:25,820
and followed

962
00:35:25,820 --> 00:35:26,460
their whims

963
00:35:26,460 --> 00:35:27,440
and desires

964
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,580
but everything

965
00:35:28,580 --> 00:35:29,740
has its time

966
00:35:29,740 --> 00:35:34,720
the Hadith

967
00:35:34,720 --> 00:35:35,660
informs us

968
00:35:35,660 --> 00:35:36,360
that the splitting

969
00:35:36,360 --> 00:35:37,060
of the moon

970
00:35:37,060 --> 00:35:37,580
took place

971
00:35:37,580 --> 00:35:38,240
in Mecca

972
00:35:38,240 --> 00:35:43,060
they also tell us

973
00:35:43,060 --> 00:35:43,700
that the people

974
00:35:43,700 --> 00:35:44,160
of Mecca

975
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:44,760
themselves

976
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:45,900
asked for this

977
00:35:45,900 --> 00:35:46,220
miracle

978
00:35:46,220 --> 00:35:47,900

979
00:35:47,900 --> 00:35:53,280

982
00:35:55,180 --> 00:35:55,820
Anas

983
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:57,120
he said

984
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,500
the people

985
00:35:58,500 --> 00:35:59,220
of Mecca

986
00:35:59,220 --> 00:36:00,340
asked Allah's

987
00:36:00,340 --> 00:36:00,720
messenger

988
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:01,640
to show them

989
00:36:01,640 --> 00:36:02,260
signs

990
00:36:02,260 --> 00:36:02,860
miracles

991
00:36:02,860 --> 00:36:04,320
and he showed

992
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:04,520
them

993
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,160
the splitting

994
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:05,820
of the moon

995
00:36:05,820 --> 00:36:06,440
twice

996
00:36:06,440 --> 00:36:14,380
according to accounts

997
00:36:14,380 --> 00:36:15,180
one part

998
00:36:15,180 --> 00:36:15,740
of the moon

999
00:36:15,740 --> 00:36:16,360
was seen

1000
00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:17,240
on one side

1001
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:17,780
of the mount

1002
00:36:17,780 --> 00:36:18,260
Tyra

1003
00:36:18,260 --> 00:36:19,660
and the other

1004
00:36:19,660 --> 00:36:20,000
part

1005
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:20,580
on the other

1006
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:21,020
side

1007
00:36:21,020 --> 00:36:22,420
after which

1008
00:36:22,420 --> 00:36:22,820
they

1009
00:36:22,820 --> 00:36:23,880
two halves

1010
00:36:23,880 --> 00:36:24,540
came back

1011
00:36:24,540 --> 00:36:25,460
together again

1012
00:36:25,460 --> 00:36:28,920
following this

1013
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:29,460
cleaving

1014
00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:30,180
of the moon

1015
00:36:30,180 --> 00:36:31,060
the pagans

1016
00:36:31,060 --> 00:36:31,840
were speechless

1017
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:32,720
in the face

1018
00:36:32,720 --> 00:36:33,580
of such a great

1019
00:36:33,580 --> 00:36:34,040
miracle

1020
00:36:34,040 --> 00:36:35,400
and this time

1021
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,620
accused our prophet

1022
00:36:36,620 --> 00:36:37,480
peace be upon him

1023
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:38,620
of casting a spell

1024
00:36:38,620 --> 00:36:39,240
over them

1025
00:36:39,240 --> 00:36:45,520
this characteristic

1026
00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:46,220
of people

1027
00:36:46,220 --> 00:36:46,820
who refuse

1028
00:36:46,820 --> 00:36:47,400
to believe

1029
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:47,780
no matter

1030
00:36:47,780 --> 00:36:48,520
what miracles

1031
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:49,420
they may witness

1032
00:36:49,420 --> 00:36:50,580
is revealed

1033
00:36:50,580 --> 00:36:51,240
as follows

1034
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:52,020
in the Quran

1035
00:36:52,020 --> 00:36:54,760
I seek refuge

1036
00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:55,220
in Allah

1037
00:36:55,220 --> 00:36:56,040
from the accursed

1038
00:36:56,040 --> 00:36:56,540
Satan

1039
00:36:56,540 --> 00:36:57,920
even if we

1040
00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,660
opened up

1041
00:36:58,660 --> 00:36:59,320
to them

1042
00:36:59,320 --> 00:36:59,760
a door

1043
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,480
into heaven

1044
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:01,260
and they spent

1045
00:37:01,260 --> 00:37:01,700
the day

1046
00:37:01,700 --> 00:37:02,220
ascending

1047
00:37:02,220 --> 00:37:02,840
through it

1048
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:03,380
they would

1049
00:37:03,380 --> 00:37:04,020
only say

1050
00:37:04,020 --> 00:37:05,080
our eyesight

1051
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,060
is befuddled

1052
00:37:06,060 --> 00:37:06,840
or rather

1053
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:07,340
we have been

1054
00:37:07,340 --> 00:37:08,440
put under a spell

1055
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:12,860
all this information

1056
00:37:12,860 --> 00:37:13,600
once again

1057
00:37:13,600 --> 00:37:14,340
goes to show

1058
00:37:14,340 --> 00:37:15,020
that the prophet

1059
00:37:15,020 --> 00:37:15,640
Muhammad

1060
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:16,580
peace be upon him

1061
00:37:16,580 --> 00:37:17,800
the holy messenger

1062
00:37:17,800 --> 00:37:18,360
of Allah

1063
00:37:18,360 --> 00:37:19,080
was selected

1064
00:37:19,080 --> 00:37:20,020
over and above

1065
00:37:20,020 --> 00:37:20,580
all men

1066
00:37:20,580 --> 00:37:21,440
that Allah

1067
00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:21,960
revealed

1068
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:23,060
the final scripture

1069
00:37:23,060 --> 00:37:24,020
the holy Quran

1070
00:37:24,020 --> 00:37:24,660
to him

1071
00:37:24,660 --> 00:37:25,780
and that he was

1072
00:37:25,780 --> 00:37:26,160
blessed

1073
00:37:26,160 --> 00:37:27,020
with miracles

1074
00:37:27,020 --> 00:37:27,660
with which

1075
00:37:27,660 --> 00:37:28,400
to soften

1076
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:29,240
people's hearts

1077
00:37:29,240 --> 00:37:30,000
and lead them

1078
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:30,700
towards fate

1079
00:37:30,700 --> 00:37:32,000
the cleaving

1080
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:32,660
of the moon

1081
00:37:32,660 --> 00:37:34,380
is one such miracle

1082
00:37:34,380 --> 00:37:35,900
we must not

1083
00:37:35,900 --> 00:37:36,920
forget that the moon

1084
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:37,760
which like all

1085
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:38,420
other entities

1086
00:37:38,420 --> 00:37:39,400
and bodies

1087
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:40,440
in the universe

1088
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:41,200
is under our

1089
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:41,940
Lord's control

1090
00:37:41,940 --> 00:37:43,500
can be seen

1091
00:37:43,500 --> 00:37:44,200
in the form

1092
00:37:44,200 --> 00:37:45,280
and in the event

1093
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:45,860
that Allah

1094
00:37:45,860 --> 00:37:46,540
so chooses

1095
00:37:46,540 --> 00:37:47,780
as we are told

1096
00:37:47,780 --> 00:37:48,560
in the Quran

1097
00:37:48,560 --> 00:37:49,900
it is enough

1098
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:50,580
for Allah

1099
00:37:50,580 --> 00:37:51,080
to say

1100
00:37:51,080 --> 00:37:51,380
be

1101
00:37:51,380 --> 00:37:52,580
in order

1102
00:37:52,580 --> 00:37:53,620
for any event

1103
00:37:53,620 --> 00:37:54,720
to take place

1104
00:37:54,720 --> 00:37:56,640
I seek refuge

1105
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:57,080
in Allah

1106
00:37:57,080 --> 00:37:57,920
from the accursed

1107
00:37:57,920 --> 00:37:58,420
Satan

1108
00:37:58,420 --> 00:37:59,840
his command

1109
00:37:59,840 --> 00:38:00,760
when he desires

1110
00:38:00,760 --> 00:38:01,320
a thing

1111
00:38:01,320 --> 00:38:02,380
is just

1112
00:38:02,380 --> 00:38:03,460
to say to it

1113
00:38:03,460 --> 00:38:03,780
be

1114
00:38:03,780 --> 00:38:04,760
and it is

1115
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:19,960
one of the miracles

1116
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:20,980
that our prophet

1117
00:38:20,980 --> 00:38:21,680
peace be upon him

1118
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,780
showed his community

1119
00:38:22,780 --> 00:38:24,200
was the way

1120
00:38:24,200 --> 00:38:24,960
that his prayers

1121
00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:25,640
were heeded

1122
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,360
our Lord

1123
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:29,180
listened to the

1124
00:38:29,180 --> 00:38:29,980
sincere prayers

1125
00:38:29,980 --> 00:38:30,800
of our prophet

1126
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:31,600
peace be upon him

1127
00:38:31,600 --> 00:38:32,480
and in that way

1128
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:33,260
the companions

1129
00:38:33,260 --> 00:38:35,580
and those around

1130
00:38:35,580 --> 00:38:37,080
were able to witness

1131
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:37,840
miracles

1132
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,200
of various kinds

1133
00:38:39,200 --> 00:38:44,320
for example

1134
00:38:44,320 --> 00:38:45,380
the hadith

1135
00:38:45,380 --> 00:38:46,080
contained

1136
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:47,500
detailed descriptions

1137
00:38:47,500 --> 00:38:48,280
of the way

1138
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:49,080
that our Lord

1139
00:38:49,080 --> 00:38:50,060
heeded the prophets

1140
00:38:50,060 --> 00:38:50,880
peace be upon him

1141
00:38:50,880 --> 00:38:51,260
prayers

1142
00:38:51,260 --> 00:38:51,940
for rain

1143
00:38:51,940 --> 00:38:53,780
and abundance

1144
00:38:53,780 --> 00:38:55,320
one hadith

1145
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:56,080
related from

1146
00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:56,740

the mosque

1152
00:39:06,240 --> 00:39:06,920
on Friday

1153
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,720
while the prophet

1154
00:39:07,720 --> 00:39:08,660
was addressing

1155
00:39:08,660 --> 00:39:09,260
the people

1156
00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:10,860
the man said

1157
00:39:10,860 --> 00:39:12,580
messenger of Allah

1158
00:39:12,580 --> 00:39:13,680
our wealth

1159
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:14,580
has been destroyed

1160
00:39:14,580 --> 00:39:15,460
and we have no

1161
00:39:15,460 --> 00:39:16,500
transport to the

1162
00:39:16,500 --> 00:39:17,120
marketplace

1163
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,500
supplicate for rain

1164
00:39:19,500 --> 00:39:20,120
for us

1165
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:20,920
the prophet

1166
00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:21,880
raised his hands

1167
00:39:21,880 --> 00:39:22,360
and said

1168
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:23,100
O Allah

1169
00:39:23,100 --> 00:39:23,920
give us rain

1170
00:39:23,920 --> 00:39:25,140
O Allah

1171
00:39:25,140 --> 00:39:26,040
give us rain

1172
00:39:26,040 --> 00:39:27,120
O Allah

1173
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:28,060
give us rain

1174
00:39:28,060 --> 00:39:29,200
by Allah

1175
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:30,580
at that time

1176
00:39:30,580 --> 00:39:31,840
there were no clouds

1177
00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:32,700
in the sky

1178
00:39:32,700 --> 00:39:33,720
and there was

1179
00:39:33,720 --> 00:39:34,480
no house

1180
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:35,040
or building

1181
00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:35,860
between us

1182
00:39:35,860 --> 00:39:36,700
and the mountain

1183
00:39:36,700 --> 00:39:39,120
from behind

1184
00:39:39,120 --> 00:39:39,540
the mountain

1185
00:39:39,540 --> 00:39:40,300
came a cloud

1186
00:39:40,300 --> 00:39:41,460
looking like a shield

1187
00:39:41,460 --> 00:39:42,620
by the time

1188
00:39:42,620 --> 00:39:43,160
it reached

1189
00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:43,720
the middle

1190
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:44,480
of the sky

1191
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,100
it burst

1192
00:39:45,100 --> 00:39:46,040
and started

1193
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:46,600
to rain

1194
00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:50,240
the hadith

1195
00:39:50,240 --> 00:39:51,160
also tells us

1196
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,000
that our prophet

1197
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:52,760
peace be upon him

1198
00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:53,600
gave believers

1199
00:39:53,600 --> 00:39:54,680
much advice

1200
00:39:54,680 --> 00:39:55,820
concerning their health

1201
00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:56,480
security

1202
00:39:56,480 --> 00:39:57,480
and faith

1203
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,560
and always treated them

1204
00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:00,620
with affection

1205
00:40:00,620 --> 00:40:01,680
and compassion

1206
00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,880
one of the consequences

1207
00:40:03,880 --> 00:40:04,880
of this love

1208
00:40:04,880 --> 00:40:05,980
and consideration

1209
00:40:05,980 --> 00:40:06,860
our prophet

1210
00:40:06,860 --> 00:40:07,620
peace be upon him

1211
00:40:07,620 --> 00:40:08,780
had for his community

1212
00:40:08,780 --> 00:40:10,080
was the way

1213
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:11,060
he prayed for them

1214
00:40:11,060 --> 00:40:12,660
on a great many subjects

1215
00:40:12,660 --> 00:40:13,980
by the will

1216
00:40:13,980 --> 00:40:14,480
of Allah

1217
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:15,680
those prayers

1218
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:16,400
were always

1219
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:16,900
a source

1220
00:40:16,900 --> 00:40:17,500
of great

1221
00:40:17,500 --> 00:40:18,280
well-being

1222
00:40:18,280 --> 00:40:19,200
and abundance

1223
00:40:19,200 --> 00:40:20,860
for all his companions

1224
00:40:20,860 --> 00:40:22,540
the hadith

1225
00:40:22,540 --> 00:40:23,380
inform us

1226
00:40:23,380 --> 00:40:24,140
that the prophet

1227
00:40:24,140 --> 00:40:25,060
peace be upon him

1228
00:40:25,060 --> 00:40:26,860
prayed for his companions

1229
00:40:26,860 --> 00:40:27,880
to be blessed

1230
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:28,940
with long lives

1231
00:40:28,940 --> 00:40:30,620
and that those prayers

1232
00:40:30,620 --> 00:40:32,020
were duly accepted

1233
00:40:32,020 --> 00:40:34,480
the messenger

1234
00:40:34,480 --> 00:40:34,940
of Allah

1235
00:40:34,940 --> 00:40:35,380
prayed

1236
00:40:35,380 --> 00:40:36,700
for Al-Bariqi

1237
00:40:36,700 --> 00:40:38,300
he reached

1238
00:40:38,300 --> 00:40:39,640
such a level

1239
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:40,340
in trade

1240
00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:41,160
that he believed

1241
00:40:41,160 --> 00:40:41,780
he could even

1242
00:40:41,780 --> 00:40:42,340
make money

1243
00:40:42,340 --> 00:40:43,380
from buying soil

1244
00:40:43,380 --> 00:40:47,320
he stroked

1245
00:40:47,320 --> 00:40:47,900
the head

1246
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:48,800
of another companion

1247
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:49,320
and prayed

1248
00:40:49,320 --> 00:40:50,780
Allah make him beautiful

1249
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:52,300
and make that beauty

1250
00:40:52,300 --> 00:40:53,080
long lasting

1251
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,060
and that companion's

1252
00:40:56,060 --> 00:40:56,720
face remained

1253
00:40:56,720 --> 00:40:57,600
young and handsome

1254
00:40:57,600 --> 00:40:58,540
until he died

1255
00:40:58,540 --> 00:41:01,560
the prayers

1256
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:02,540
of our prophets

1257
00:41:02,540 --> 00:41:03,520
peace be upon him

1258
00:41:03,520 --> 00:41:04,400
were a means

1259
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,660
whereby abundance

1260
00:41:05,660 --> 00:41:06,360
health

1261
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:07,160
peace

1262
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:08,700
and security

1263
00:41:08,700 --> 00:41:09,540
were bestowed

1264
00:41:09,540 --> 00:41:10,420
on believers

1265
00:41:10,420 --> 00:41:12,320
in the Quran

1266
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:14,320
Allah says the following

1267
00:41:14,320 --> 00:41:15,380
about the prayers

1268
00:41:15,380 --> 00:41:16,180
our prophet

1269
00:41:16,180 --> 00:41:17,000
peace be upon him

1270
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,240
said for believers

1271
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:21,580
I seek refuge in Allah

1272
00:41:21,580 --> 00:41:22,940
from the accursed Satan

1273
00:41:22,940 --> 00:41:24,220
pray for them

1274
00:41:24,220 --> 00:41:25,600
your prayers

1275
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,100
bring relief to them

1276
00:41:27,100 --> 00:41:28,620
Allah is all hearing

1277
00:41:28,620 --> 00:41:29,400
all knowing

1278
00:41:29,400 --> 00:41:33,660
in this film

1279
00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:34,520
we have seen

1280
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:35,840
some of the miracles

1281
00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:36,780
of our prophet

1282
00:41:36,780 --> 00:41:37,780
peace be upon him

1283
00:41:37,780 --> 00:41:40,400
whose superior virtues

1284
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,500
deep faith

1285
00:41:41,500 --> 00:41:43,080
words and deeds

1286
00:41:43,080 --> 00:41:43,880
have made him

1287
00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:44,680
a role model

1288
00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:45,300
for all

1289
00:41:45,300 --> 00:41:46,800
in the middle

1290
00:41:46,800 --> 00:41:47,500
of a dangerous

1291
00:41:47,500 --> 00:41:48,800
and pagan community

1292
00:41:48,800 --> 00:41:50,200
our prophet

1293
00:41:50,200 --> 00:41:51,080
peace be upon him

1294
00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:52,020
both preached

1295
00:41:52,020 --> 00:41:52,720
the faith

1296
00:41:52,720 --> 00:41:53,920
and call on people

1297
00:41:53,920 --> 00:41:54,680
to have faith

1298
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:55,980
and follow him

1299
00:41:55,980 --> 00:41:57,720
and also waged

1300
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,180
a determined struggle

1301
00:41:59,180 --> 00:42:00,000
against those

1302
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:01,000
who did not believe

1303
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,320
the leaders

1304
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:03,500
of the unbelievers

1305
00:42:03,500 --> 00:42:04,640
planned to kill

1306
00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:05,640
the messenger of Allah

1307
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:06,880
and laid snares

1308
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:07,400
for him

1309
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,920
yet despite

1310
00:42:08,920 --> 00:42:09,940
all these traps

1311
00:42:09,940 --> 00:42:10,940
and deceits

1312
00:42:10,940 --> 00:42:11,880
our prophet

1313
00:42:11,880 --> 00:42:12,820
peace be upon him

1314
00:42:12,820 --> 00:42:14,380
continued to wage

1315
00:42:14,380 --> 00:42:15,000
his struggle

1316
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,260
unharmed

1317
00:42:16,260 --> 00:42:17,640
and in a miraculous

1318
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:18,300
manner

1319
00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:19,560
in addition

1320
00:42:19,560 --> 00:42:20,840
by Allah's leave

1321
00:42:20,840 --> 00:42:21,620
our prophet

1322
00:42:21,620 --> 00:42:22,300
peace be upon him

1323
00:42:22,300 --> 00:42:23,220
came to possess

1324
00:42:23,220 --> 00:42:24,340
knowledge of hidden

1325
00:42:24,340 --> 00:42:24,880
matters

1326
00:42:24,880 --> 00:42:26,920
unknown to anyone else

1327
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:27,740
in a number

1328
00:42:27,740 --> 00:42:28,440
of spheres

1329
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:30,040
and he described

1330
00:42:30,040 --> 00:42:30,740
events

1331
00:42:30,740 --> 00:42:31,520
that would only

1332
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:32,280
take place

1333
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:34,500
1400 years later

1334
00:42:34,500 --> 00:42:35,600
as if he had

1335
00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:36,680
actually seen them

1336
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:37,520
with his own eyes

1337
00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,100
Allah's miraculous

1338
00:42:39,100 --> 00:42:39,780
protection

1339
00:42:39,780 --> 00:42:40,800
of our prophet

1340
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:41,840
peace be upon him

1341
00:42:41,840 --> 00:42:42,980
and the hidden

1342
00:42:42,980 --> 00:42:43,560
knowledge

1343
00:42:43,560 --> 00:42:44,700
imparted to him

1344
00:42:44,700 --> 00:42:45,920
are matters

1345
00:42:45,920 --> 00:42:46,900
we shall be looking

1346
00:42:46,900 --> 00:42:48,240
at in more detail

1347
00:42:48,240 --> 00:42:49,240
in the second part

1348
00:42:49,240 --> 00:42:50,000
of this film

1349
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:51,880
it must not

1350
00:42:51,880 --> 00:42:52,520
be forgotten

1351
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:53,460
that every one

1352
00:42:53,460 --> 00:42:54,180
of the miracles

1353
00:42:54,180 --> 00:42:55,020
of our lord

1354
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:56,700
showed to the

1355
00:42:56,700 --> 00:42:57,020
prophet

1356
00:42:57,020 --> 00:42:58,020
peace be upon him

1357
00:42:58,020 --> 00:42:59,480
was created

1358
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:00,580
at his choosing

1359
00:43:00,580 --> 00:43:01,880
in the manner

1360
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:02,960
and at the time

1361
00:43:02,960 --> 00:43:04,140
chosen by Allah

1362
00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:05,880
and with no natural

1363
00:43:05,880 --> 00:43:06,440
cause

1364
00:43:06,440 --> 00:43:07,700
all miracles

1365
00:43:07,700 --> 00:43:08,640
take place

1366
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:09,680
merely by Allah

1367
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:10,580
commanding them

1368
00:43:10,580 --> 00:43:11,580
to be

1369
00:43:11,580 --> 00:43:14,060
each one represents

1370
00:43:14,060 --> 00:43:14,980
glad tidings

1371
00:43:14,980 --> 00:43:16,180
that further enhance

1372
00:43:16,180 --> 00:43:16,760
the faith

1373
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:17,620
of believers

1374
00:43:17,620 --> 00:43:20,900
I seek refuge

1375
00:43:20,900 --> 00:43:21,380
in Allah

1376
00:43:21,380 --> 00:43:22,200
from the accursed

1377
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:22,720
Satan

1378
00:43:22,720 --> 00:43:23,860
there is

1379
00:43:23,860 --> 00:43:24,580
instruction

1380
00:43:24,580 --> 00:43:25,780
in their stories

1381
00:43:25,780 --> 00:43:26,360
for people

1382
00:43:26,360 --> 00:43:27,220
of intelligence

1383
00:43:27,220 --> 00:43:28,600
this is not

1384
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:29,240
a narration

1385
00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:30,120
which has been

1386
00:43:30,120 --> 00:43:30,600
invented

1387
00:43:30,600 --> 00:43:32,000
